Thank you for the PSA, but I am fully aware of it's presence in the washer and I'm ignoring it's existence hoping it dissapears from the face of the earth. Wishful thinking lol
7,310,302
mommit
Thanks! I just moved the laundry

I use sudshare for our laundry, but I have this quilt on my closet floor for like 2.5 weeks now, thinking i would just throw it in the wash at some point because I don't want to pay the extra $8 to wash the quilt.

Where were you 24hrs ago?

I like to procrastinate all of my laundry until we are in dire need, then as the loads are done in the dryer I pile them up and up until I have Mount Everest of clean laundry. Then I whine and whine in my head about doing it and wait until there are no other favourable chores to do and THEN I do it. I'm currently at...

I don't have this all figured out, don't get me wrong, I currently have 2 baskets full to fold from Saturday. But seriously, purge clothes. It can't get nearly as out of hand if you don't have as many clothes to even get dirty. I keep it to 8-9 shirts per kid in both long and short sleeves, that many pants and shorts ...

lol you painted my entire setup

I washed, dried and folded 3 loads of laundry yesterday. I was feeling rather accomplished and full of myself as I finished folding the last load around 10:00PM. . . Then my 15 year old son handed me a disgusting bag of basketball clothes and said “Can you have these done before I leave for school tomorrow??” He leave...

I hate this because its laundry day and you reminded me. So many baby socks to find

I literally have a load of laundry waiting to go to the dryer.. which is still full from two days ago. 🫤
7,310,311
mommit
1 folded to be put away (all week), 2 full baskets not folded, 1 on the dryer... and maybe 3 more loads to do. I'm drowning in laundry. Constantly. Teenager. Toddler. Infant.
7,310,312
mommit
Actually it’s Monday morning and I have a wet load needing to be moved to the dryer and a new load waiting to be put in the washer. Plus a fry load on my bed and two more on the couch. But instead I’m on Reddit until I have to go to work later.
7,310,313
mommit
1) I feel personally attacked. 2) Thank you for the reminder, kind stranger!
7,310,314

Ive washed the same load in my washer 5x now, and it’s still in my washer from yesterdays wash…wash #6 coming on up
7,310,315

Currently have a massive load of my laundry in the dryer. At least it made it to the dryer. My toddler likes to help load it up. Now I’ve got to throw partners laundry in the wash and see if I can fold my clothes in under a week this time. Toddlers laundry is complete! In a few days it’s time to change sheets and towel...

Thanks for the reminder to move the wet laundry from 2 days ago to the dryer
7,310,317

I purposely have like 5 laundry bins for *clean* clothes only. They're all currently full of a variety of children's clothes. Clean, unfolded - but kinda sorted!
7,310,318
mommit
I think we would be friends IRL
7,310,319
mommit
This would work but my side kicks Thing 1 and 2 will grab everything piece by piece and throw it on the ground while I attempt to fold it.
7,310,320
mommit
and if you’re me, the clean clothes fall off where ever you put them and mesh in with the dirty laundry and you get to start the whole thing over again from square one!
7,310,321
mommit
Please tell my husband that it’s not just me!
7,310,322
mommit
This truck is why there are three laundry baskets of clean clothes in my bedroom that need to be folded and put away
7,310,323
mommit
I’m not above sleeping on my clean laundry.
7,310,324
mommit
Laundry armchair, cross contamination, dressing out of baskets...now I'm convinced we live in a simulation and we're all just the same person.
7,310,325
mommit
I keep an armchair in the bedroom just for this purpose!
7,310,326
mommit
I do this literally every day
7,310,327
mommit
It me.
7,310,328
mommit
There are literally dozens of us
7,310,329

Are you me?

So real
7,310,331
mommit
I just put it on my husbands side and he does it haha
7,310,332
mommit
This was me. I dumped it on my bed and then the kids decided throwing laundry was fun. Now I have a laundry mountain (all clean and dried) but not dealt with Also, now I have the same song stuck in my head. It's so good lol
7,310,333
mommit
I have never felt so seen
7,310,334
mommit
Even before kids, I never saw laundry on my bed and thought 'Oh I should fold that.' I just schooched it over and went to bed.
7,310,335
mommit
My son (2) pretends he's a bulldozer and pushes it off onto the floor its our new game haha
7,310,336
mommit
I feel this in my soul lol I hope it all worked out for you by bed time!
7,310,337
mommit
I think the ven of my dryer is clogged and thst makes things take much longer in the dryer. I can't figure out how to unattach the tube thing for the vent or move the dryer by myself. I want to call a handyman but my husband said he'd do it. It's been over a year. He just doesn't get it. And I had towels in the dryer...
7,310,338
mommit
We have a rather small washer and a king size bed. When I decide to wash bedding it’s a whole day affair. If I don’t put the first load in the wash *as soon as my eyes pop open* I might as well reschedule the whole endeavor. First load sheets, pillow cases, and small blankets (we sleep with a couple small throw blanket...
7,310,339

AND distributed it??

My mum is staying with us for the last month to help out with our newborn and second kid. This is the first time I have ever been caught up on laundry. She does a load every day, folds it, and brings it upstairs to be put away. It's the most amazing feeling not to be drowning in laundry for once!
7,310,341
mommit
I got that x4, plus the load in the dryer, yesterday’s wet load in the washer, and 2 hampers waiting to be folded. I am winning this game!
7,310,342
mommit
How about the dirty load in the washer, sprinkled with detergent, that you just never hit “start” on?
7,310,343
mommit
I feel seen
7,310,344

My to-do list currently has different laundry tasks on 8 separate lines.
7,310,345
mommit
Your mum is MIL goals. That's brilliant
7,310,346
mommit
My favorite way is to convince myself that the clothes aren’t dry enough so I just run them through the dryer again. The sound of the dryer is a sound I’ve associated with “I’m being productive!” So I just keep it running. Bonus: if husband ask me to do something, I can’t because “I’m doing laundry all day” even tho...
7,310,347
mommit
This is also my go-to move. Set a timer- I’m so smart! Timer goes off- oh, I’ll get it once this show is over (promptly forgets)
7,310,348
mommit
Mine still is as I Reddit the morning while dad brings little to school. Sipping coffee too. Priorities for now. Lol
7,310,349
mommit
They get their own clothes and everyone else’s clothes dirty!! I used to wear pants and shirts a few times before washing them. Now I need to change halfway through the day because of all the spit up/sticky hands/sweat.
7,310,350
mommit
Literally will make me want to cry lol
7,310,351
mommit
Teach me your ways!!
7,310,352
mommit
We are a family of five. I literally just folded and put away four loads on Friday, got stomach flu after ballet Saturday and now there’s 2-3 loads on the bathroom floor. Fully does not help that my six year old wants to do a look change whenever she is the least bit dirty!
7,310,353
mommit
A perfectly valid reason to put off laundry
7,310,354
mommit
Seven baskets!!! You deserve a break!
7,310,355
mommit
Don't get ahead of yourself. Fuck around and clean all the clothes at once you're going to realize there's not enough room to put everything away.
7,310,356
mommit
Get well soon! That laundry can wait!
7,310,357
mommit
8 loads!! Is that a record?? You deserve a break!
7,310,358
mommit
oommmgggg. What did you say/do??
7,310,359
mommit
I'm sorry OP I'm a nerd but the sun will consume Earth when it becomes a red giant in about 5-6 billion years (estimates vary), not a few million. Hope that helps.
7,310,360

My side kick likes to open drawers and take clothes to the dog to play with lol
7,310,361
mommit
Ahhhh! We have cross contamination of the clean and dirty laundry sectors!!!
7,310,362
mommit
THIS! But also, I'm glad someone is telling me it's not just me... I'm not sure if I have fully folded and put away a load of laundry from start to finish in one day... Maybe ever...
7,310,363
mommit
...four ... And I actually folded 4 on Saturday, but we were so far behind on laundry that I'm back to having four clean baskets unfolded. And we have two new cats, and discovered that at least one likes to grab fabric (socks, towels, whatever) and *drag them into the litter box*. Those socks were clean, they're now...
7,310,364
mommit
A year!! Call that handyman! And I’m glad I reminded you but so sorry it was too late lol, if it makes you feel better all our sheets and blankets weren’t done until 10:30ish last night
7,310,365
mommit
Yesss. I can only hope I'm as amazing as her if I ever become a grandma/MIL. She said she needed something "relaxing" to do before her shift started lol. (I provided coffee, dinner & dessert of course).
7,310,366
mommit
Moms are amazing aren't they?! I love how she never judges me & reminds me that I'm doing the important stuff: raising my kids. Ever since I've become a mom, each birthday card consists of a message stating how proud she is of everything I do & how much I accomplish. I'm so glad you're getting that support
7,310,367
mommit
This is me today. Plus the basket that got folded but never put away
7,310,368
mommit
Yeah, I actually always add "sort laundry" and "fold laundry", but I was too afraid to admit that I have so many in comment I'm glad I'm not alone!
7,310,369
mommit
Omg, I re-dry clothes a lot.
7,310,370
mommit
I know that's right! Haha
7,310,371

Wish I could, was absolutely shocked myself
7,310,372

Thank you
7,310,373

Lol sadly no… 2 kids, mechanic husband, 3 dogs. I’m pretty sure the record is like 11 loads… idk I do a lot of laundry
7,310,374

I washed them and put them in the dryer. He got them out of the dryer in the morning. He’s a good kid.
7,310,375

I love it when nerds correct me! I was too lazy to look up the (more precise) estimated dates. But now I won’t forget ;)

Me having a chuckle as my 9-day-old lays in my lap to sleep. As soon as I lay her down she wakes and fusses... I suppose I'm supposed to clean when she cleans and cook when she cooks.
7,310,378

Why can’t your husband alternate days with you and every other day you get to be the one who gets yoga and a shower while he has the baby?
7,310,379
mommit
Ahhh yes child free friends. I was at a Memorial Day get together with my husbands siblings/cousins and their friends and we just quietly laughed to ourselves when they all had a discussion about how much harder puppies are than babies
7,310,380
mommit
My MOM said, why are you constantly rocking him? babies just go to sleep when they're tired. If.only!
7,310,381
mommit
Oh that sweet summer child finally at six months I’m starting to get some solid crib naps so I can get workout in. But at three months there was no way.
7,310,382

Baby/mommy yoga. You do yoga with him camped out on your mat. There are moves that you also incorporate him into.
7,310,383

I am 7 weeks postpartum and a “friend” recently sent a DM trying to sell me beach body. I have 2 under 2 so I kindly said that I am in survival mode and literally have ZERO time for myself right now. She posted a story about how lazy people will always find excuses and you can always find time shortly afterwards lololo...
7,310,384
mommit
Just wear the baby while you do yoga. Duh. . I agree with another commenter though, why can't hubby take baby for you to do some yoga if you really want to?
7,310,385
mommit
Do yoga when baby does yoga! Sleep when baby sleeps!
7,310,386
mommit
Others have suggested this in other posts and got crazy positive replies so I'll put it here just incase you haven't tried it already. Get a heating pad or blanket and warm up the area you want to transfer them to then remove the blanket before laying baby down.
7,310,387
mommit
You gotta stop telling your childless friends your parenting problems..they will never comprehend. And you can’t blame her..she wont get it til she has her own kids and maybe even then she’ll have a super chill kid that will sleep the moments they lay their head down..
7,310,388
mommit
Don’t take advice from people that don’t have kids. They have zero idea what they are talking about and will never understand until they are going through it themselves

Non contact naps improved for me around 4 months… for a bout 2 weeks before the 4 months sleep regression
7,310,390

Why is your husband doing yoga every morning instead of trading off with you? Unless I’m reading that wrong? There isn’t much reason why he can’t watch baby while you do some yoga and have a shower.
7,310,391
mommit
I feel the only advice for new parents should be, "don't expect to do anything alone for the first year." Say no to exercise. Dishes. Non-childcare responsibilities. Sleep when you can. Enjoy every second you can with your little squishy. But... Maybe baby wearing yoga would work for you? (I couldn't put my son down...

Theres a really cute baby and bub yoga video on youtube, its about 10 minutes!! I havent been able to sit through it in one sitting with my 8 month old LOL Hope you find time for self care, OP. It really is hard.

I had to start physical therapy with my 10mo (to strengthen her core and hands as she was asymmetrically army crawling) so now I guess I get to exercise 5 times a day. Even if it's a few minutes, I always end up sweaty. It counts, right??
7,310,394

We get warm fuzzy sheets, flannels, etc and those def help with transferring our 9mo to the crib or pack’n’play! Crisper sheets stay cool and it kinda shocks them awake when they’ve been all cozy warm on you. Just a tip we found that works for us! Plus keeping a noise machine or fan on low *at all times* to block out s...

Yep sounds about right! It does get easier I promise! I barely had time to read when my little one was much smaller.
